Casual Management - Ceasing Engagement

Supervisors can make individual requests to cease their casual team member’s job by an email request to employment@flinders.edu.au. In circumstances where the casual has been actively engaged and will have their contract ceased, it is the responsibility of the supervisor to make the casual aware the engagement will cease and the reasons for this prior to seeking to have Employment Services end them on the system. Any queries related to advising a casual employee should be directed to the local P&C team for the college or Portfolio in the first instance. 

Casual Academic staff are removed from the University’s HR system (Workday) after 12 months of inactivity. Inactivity is identified by the absence of any timesheet submitted or paid by the University during a 12-month period. At this time, they will also lose their IT access (FAN, email and other IT resources). Supervisors will receive an email and Workday notification informing them that their team member’s job has been ended.

If the employee has work scheduled within an upcoming 3-month period and you require their employment to be continued, the ERO, Supervisor or P&C Business Partnering team must send an email to employment@flinders.edu.au. This must be actioned within 2 weeks of the casual being ended.

If the employee is returning to work after this 2 week period please initiate an ‘Engage a casual worker’ Service One request.
